Vandersteen 5a vs Genesis 5.3 ?

Has anyone heard these two speakers? Strengths and weaknesses of both or either. Your choice and why?

Richard Vandersteen is very willing to support his products... Happy with the speakers.

(Just a pair of Treo's), and I swear by the Vandersteen sound. I heard them in the late 70's and remembered them when I finally had some money to get back in the game a few years ago. They haven't disappointed me, and I can say the newer models (Treo and up are very good-especially price-wise. I have no experience with Genesis, but I wanted to add my 2 cents FWIW. B
